InSight's first image from Mars
Am I excited about this new Mars mission? Woohoo...I am beyond excited.
I mean, look at this stracciatella bonbon :)
This is the first image taken by NASA’s InSight lander on the surface of Mars. The instrument context camera (ICC) mounted below the lander deck obtained this image on Nov. 26, 2018, shortly after landing. The transparent lens cover was still in place to protect the lens from any dust kicked up during landing.

It's good to see you back, Corina Marinescu. I'm likewise very excited about this mission. Have you seen the Oatmeal cartoon on InSight? It's both hilarious and inspiring. theoatmeal.com - On November 26th, a mole will land on Mars - The Oatmeal
ReplyDeleteA human landing on Mars would be an interesting endeavour, I hope it happens some day. We can only speculate at this point what that would be like, i.e. TV shows like 'The First' (Hulu /Channel 4) yet, or the movie The Martian. No permanent footprints, but maybe golf balls...
